The general process for me, and I don't quite know if this is the
recommended process, is:
1) Turn off backends
2) Make a backup of the DB (I don't think it's necessary, but it's
pretty much generally a good first step)
3) Change your mounting options operating system wise
4) run mythsetup and change the storage groups
5) Restart mythbackend
My understanding is that this is a hair slower, technically, than
adjusting the DB to explicitly tell it you moved the files, but
completely "safe" since the backend will check all your storage groups
looking for the file if it doesn't find it where it expects to. I
didn't do anything more special than this when I adjusted all my
storage to a master NFS server.
